In the Justice Court.

The attention OF the justice court
was taken up yesterday afternoon and
evening, and up to nearly eleven
o'clock last night, in a case wherein
Arndt & Ferchen sued Jos. Hume for
commission for sale of the steamer
Gen. Garfield and a steam boiler.
The agreement was that Arndt &
Ferchen should should get purchas-
er for the boat and boiler, which were
Hume's property. For making the
sale they were to get $3.50 commits
sloS. Sam Arndt got a purchaser for
the boat, and Hume refused to pay
him the commission agreed upon.
Accordingly he brought suit, and the
case was on trial yesterday before a
jury of three, consisting of u. J.
Meaney, Theo. Bracker and W. w.
Wherry. There were several wit
nesses examined, and the case was
ably argued on both sides and con-
siderable legal authority cited. Upon
the case being given to the jury they
deliberated for a few moments and
gave a verdict for the plaintiff for
$3.50, the amount OF his commission
for which he sued.
